SlowOne, like your story of the greats working magic with someone else's tools, there will be stories at the other end of the scale too.
The stories that you have exampled are people who have "got there" not a journey of "how" they got there... This is what's up for discussion, not the finished article. Until such time someone takes a hand picked spectrum of total novices and takes them through an identical journey building their driving, nothing can be known for sure. That goes for all sports... It's not been done. All we have is sporting bodies trying to apply the same strategies to juniors etc but each individual still has a "home" coach and advisories that sit outside these bodies which influence, therefore still not delivering the same journey. To me, this voyage of discovery and exploration in learning something new is really fascinating, and the consensus of people saying you have it or you don't just doesn't pan out to be true, not just in this hobby but in any vocation.... "I" have hundreds of stories for every one that suggests you "have it or you don't", theory.
We all have faith and beliefs, That's what makes us all different, those stead fast in "you've got it or you haven't" is a mindset, and we all know the power of mindsets!!
